Honestly Theres Always Been Something Really Wrong With Me But Whatever

sorry if I sound awkward and disoriented and sleep deprived and exhausted. it’s because I am

Me lying down: I feel pretty much fine. What am I doing lying around? I should get up and do something. Or at least sit upright, damn.

Me when I’m upright: oh, Jesus. Oh, damn. Oh, RIGHT—this is why I was lying down.

Dance as an act of rebellion. Dance as an act of joy.

*slaps my body* this bad boy can- ugh auugh that hurt

The fact that experiencing pain long-term actually increases your sensitivity to pain instead of you getting used to it is absolute bullshit! I demand a refund

There’s no such thing as work-life balance for neurodivergent & chronically ill people.

This is because everything in my life requires work:

maintaining friendships

keeping up with my hygiene

managing bills

making money

remembering my basic needs

sleeping regularly

outputting creatively

All requires some aspect of work for me.

And when everything in your life requires work, your balance goes out the window.

If you're neurodivergent and overwhelmed — I see you.

If you're chronically ill and overwhelmed — I see you.

You're not dysfunctional.

You're not incapable.

You're doing your best.
